Blue Wave Festival—Manhattan

September 6, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The Blue Wave Festival is a one-stop shop for NYC progressives looking to volunteer in this year’s crucial local and statewide races. This two-day event in Brooklyn and Manhattan will galvanize progressives and connect them directly to campaigns that need our help.

This event will mix serious politics with serious fun. Here’s what we have planned:

New York should already be a national leader in progressive legislation. But we have the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC) — a group of 8 NY State Senators who were elected as Democrats, but formed a coalition with Republicans, blocking progressive legislation in NY. That will change if we get our voters to the polls on primary and election day. Together, we can take back the New York State Senate from the Republicans and turn the U.S. Congress blue by flipping six Republican Congressional seats from Staten Island to Syracuse, Hudson Valley to Long Island.

And that’s the goal of the Blue Wave Festival; to bring together all of the progressive campaigns in the New York area that need our help.
